Academic Integrity and Artificial Intelligence

It includes violations of school integrity, but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, but also handing over the work of others, using the work of a lecturer or someone else without permission. Any breach of integrity is a serious academic offense and is subject to disciplinary action.
